Yates quip, injury boost, key drills – inside Nottingham Forest training ahead of return to action

Nottingham Forest returned to the Nigel Doughty Academy this week to prepare for their upcoming Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace. With several players away on international duty, head coach Oliver Glasner worked with a reduced group of 10 outfield players and three goalkeepers during an open session attended by media and local schoolchildren.

Defender Nikola Milenkovic provided an injury boost by training after missing two matches with a hamstring issue, with Glasner confirming he should be available to face Palace. Midfielder Ryan Yates brought humor and interacted with visitors, while the club continues off-field upgrades at the training ground, including an extended canteen and an ongoing swimming pool installation.
